A SESSION TO
SELECT NAMES.
(From the Litte Falls Transcript.)
Minnesota left all the other
states far behind during the
month of June in the matter of
receiving immigrants according
to figures given out Friday by
Fred D. Sherman, state immigration commissioner. During
tlie month of June Minnesota
received more than twice as
many emigrant cars as any
other state and more than a
third of the total number of cars
handled by the Minnesota Transfer Railway. Out of a total of
144 cars handled by the transfer
company, 51 cars were left in
Minnesota. Montana came next
with 21 cars. Canada 19, Wisconsin and North Dakota each
15, Iowa, South Dakota and
Washington each 3, and the balance 2 and 1.
How far do you walk while
doing a days work, Mrs. Housewife? One woman decided she
would find out. She had been
reading about the "tango" meter," which when tied to the
ankle of the dancer, will tell
how far one tangoes, so she
bought a "tango meter" and
carried it around while she carried it around while she attended her household duties. During January she covered 400 p. b. Dempsey and Geo. Granules. The daily average was dy, who are with the Co-opera

Nominations of three clergymen as candidates for the appointment as bishop of the St.
Cloud diocese to succeed Rt.
Rev. James Trobec resigned,
were made Tuesday. A meeting
of the consulors and irremovable rectors of the St. Cloud
diocese was held at the residence of Most Rev. Archbishop
John Ireland in St. Paul for
that purpose.
The consultors and irremova-
able rectors determine upon
three clergymen who in their
opinions are best qualified to
succeed Bishop Trobec. These
names will be submitted to the
archbishop of the province and
he will recommend clergymen
also qualified for the important
appointment. The names will
be forwarded to Rome where
they will be submitted for the
inspection of Pope Pius. The
final designation lies with the
Pope who will announce the appointment of Bishop Trobec's
successor. It will probably be
at least three months before the
appointment will have been
made.—Transcript.

Swat The Roosters.
Minnesota has annually 500,-
000 roosters on her farms. By
June 15th their usefulness as
breeders is ended. For the next
four months their presence with
the laying flock will result in
great loss through chicken development during warm weather. The}' should be eaten, sold,
or shut up at once.
Eat Them.
The farmer's wife knows how
to make a delicious pot-pie of
an old rooster. Use all you can
of them. Many lost their hogs
and hence the family larder is
low. Eat the old roosters.
Sell Them.
The value of the half million
roosters exceed a quarter of a
million at current quotations.
Some produce dealers are offering 10 cents a pound at country
points. §250,000 in cast either
in the pocketbooks or in the
bank will machmore productive
than a half million roosters in
the barnyards of Minnesota
farmers.
Shut Thehi Up.
If one has a young cockerel of
special value as a breeder, he
should be shut up in a small
pen during the summer months,
and broody hens putin with him
duringhis captivity. He should
be given good care to maintain
his breeding qualities.
Eat, sell, or shut up. Which
shall it be? It is up to you.

The state supreme court recently decided that the township officers who are negligent
in leaving dangerous places in
roads while repairing them are
personally liable for damages
in case p-: one is injured. The
opinion was written by Chief
Justice Brown and is as follows:
1. Public officers are answerable to private persons for injuries resulting from the negligent performances of their ministerial duties.
2. The rule applies to township highway officers.
3. Defendants, township highway officers, in the repair of a
road within their district, removed a culvertextendingacross
the same, and negligently and
carelessly left the ditch resulting from the removal of the culvert open and exposed over
night, without guards or warnings of any kind, and plaintiff,
while traveling along the road
unaware of the dangerous condition thereof as negligently
left by such officers, was injured;
it is held, that the defendants
are liable for the injuries thus
occasioned, notwithstanding the
tact that the town of which they
were officers is not liable.—Richmond Standard.
MAY BE CASHED
ANYWHERE.
Postal money orders will be
payable at any office for 30 days
after their issuance according to
a new ruling which appears in
the latest postoffice department
bulletin and which went into effect July 1.
At present the orders are payable only at the office upon which
they are drawn and must be
taken there by the holder for
collection. The fact that the
postoffice department abandoned the advice system four years
ago will make the adoption of
the new system easier. It is
necessary for the paying clerk
merely to tear off the coupon receipt and forward the rest of the
order to the auditor general at
Washington.
This ruling, however, effects
orders only before they are 30
days old and after that time they
must be taken to the office upon
which they are drawn for collection.
